The GOTRAX SRX Mini is a kids' hoverboard designed for personal transportation, offering a fun and engaging riding experience. This hoverboard is intended for use by children, with specific safety guidelines and operational instructions to ensure a secure and enjoyable ride.

Function Description

The primary function of the GOTRAX SRX Mini is to provide a self-balancing, motorized personal transport device. Riders stand on footpads, and the hoverboard responds to shifts in weight and foot pressure to move forward, backward, and turn. It is powered by an internal battery, which requires regular charging using the provided power adapter. The hoverboard is designed for smooth surfaces, making it suitable for environments like carparks, smooth roads, and footpaths.

Usage Features

The GOTRAX SRX Mini comes fully assembled, simplifying the initial setup process. Before its first use, and for optimal performance, the hoverboard's battery must be fully charged. The charging process involves inserting the charging plug into the designated port. The charger box indicates the charging status with a red light during charging and a green light when fully charged. A full charge typically takes 5 hours.

Operating the hoverboard involves a series of intuitive controls based on rider movement:

• Power On/Off: To turn the hoverboard on, press and hold the silver button on the back for 1 second. To turn it off, press the same button twice in a row.
• Forward Acceleration: Gently pushing down with the toes will cause the hoverboard to accelerate forward. Riders should lean slightly forward as the board gains speed.
• Backward Acceleration: Gently lifting the toes will initiate backward acceleration. Riders should be prepared to lean back as the board moves.
• Turning Right: To turn right, riders should gently push down with their left toes and shift their weight to the right.
• Turning Left: To turn left, riders should gently push down with their right toes and shift their weight to the left.
• Slowing to Stop: To slow down and stop, riders should return to an upright position with their weight evenly balanced.
• Low Battery Indicator: The hoverboard is equipped with a low battery warning system. When the battery is low and nearing depletion, the hoverboard will emit a loud beep, signaling the rider to dismount and charge the device.

Mounting and dismounting the hoverboard are critical for safe operation. Riders should always mount the board from the rear, identified by the power button and charging port. The process involves placing the hoverboard on the ground in front of the feet, stepping onto one footpad, and then quickly stepping onto the other footpad. Dismounting should always be done from the back of the hoverboard.

Safety is paramount when using the GOTRAX SRX Mini. Riders are strongly advised to wear a helmet at all times. It is crucial to ensure the hoverboard has a full battery before each ride. Riders must be aware of and adhere to local road laws. The hoverboard should never be ridden under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Respect for pedestrians is also emphasized. The hoverboard is not designed for wet conditions, as water can damage the electronics and void the warranty, in addition to posing a significant risk of injury due to slipping. The maximum speed of the hoverboard is 6.2 mph.

The hoverboard has a maximum load rating of 132 lbs (60 kg) and should never be used by children under the age of 5. Modifying the product from its original design is prohibited. Hands and all body parts should be kept away from moving parts during operation. Before each use, riders should inspect the hoverboard to ensure it is operating correctly. Riders should also be mindful of the terrain, watching out for curbs and obstacles.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for extending the life of the GOTRAX SRX Mini.

• Cleaning: If the hoverboard becomes dirty, it should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. It is crucial to avoid using alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, or other corrosive chemical solvents, as these can severely damage the hoverboard's appearance and structure. Pressure washers should also not be used, as they can damage the electronics.
• Storage: When not in use, the hoverboard should be stored in a dry and cool location. Storing the hoverboard outdoors is not recommended, as prolonged exposure to sun, UV rays, rain, and other elements can damage its appearance and reduce the life of the battery and tires.
• Battery Care: Only the approved GOTRAX power adapter should be used for charging to prevent the risk of fire or equipment damage. Improper disposal of used batteries can harm the environment, so local disposal regulations must be followed. The hoverboard and its power adapter should be stored within a temperature range that does not exceed 122 degrees Fahrenheit or fall below -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The battery is not user-serviceable, and prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions can damage the internal materials.
